A duopoly is still as undesirable as a monopoly. One part of a duopoly comes to town creates a closed system, and then they make it super expensive to use. Sounds like you are trying to prevent free exits of the system and free entry by being that expensive. Apple could have been a Microsoft-like monopoly if their ecosystem isn't closed and restrictive. You might be the only shopping mall in town, but shoppers still prefer to choose the products they use from all kinds of manufacturers, from cheap to the expensive according to their taste and wallet.

Any "too big to fail" business MUST be regulated and de-monopolized as possible, else they become our masters, with way too much power.

that is not true these companies are so large that small companies cannot compete the EU had force Microsoft to remove some its bloat ware so that users can chose which browser to use. Microsoft answer it was part of the OS and yet it got removed without any harm to the OS. They are also allowed to sell customers data to companies why is that it still a big problem for me. Apple employees very rarely fix hardware their excuse its cheaper if you upgrade. At our University we had to hire a tech to fix Apple hardware because their warranty sucks. Then you have google who has set a deadline to delete your pictures. then Facebook say your information belongs to them. Thought privacy laws were to protect us but not against these giants. When smaller companies become innovated they get bought out by these giants they have so much power only governments have to intervene. Guess that innovation

The difference between IPhone and Android is Apple controles every single aspect of what you can do with your Iphome where Android is an open system where third parties can develop their own things independent of Googles control.

None of the companies are even policing their content. They absolutely couldn't care less about what people post, and reporting does nothing
